Story
From early in life, we’re taught to compete in a preexisting game of comparison designed by someone else (listen to this sentence three times). And in doing so, we unconsciously submit to someone else’s rules. In business, this seems smart. Buy Google Ads for the keywords that indicate someone is already shopping and yell, “Pick me! Pick me!” The unquestioned rationale is: Demand exists, and if our business can tap into that existing demand, we will find customers—and customers lead to profits.

In 2005, a little book called Blue Ocean Strategy grew into a global best seller. With over four million copies sold and industry recognition as “one of the most iconic and impactful strategy books ever written”, Blue Ocean Strategy changed the way many people thought about business. We tip our hats to the title, and the framing of the idea, because it is a legendary example of languaging. More than 15 years later, you will still hear people in business meetings referencing “blue oceans” and “red oceans”. But...there are a few problems.

Almost all thinking is reflexive (having an unconscious “reflex” in response) versus “reflective” (taking a moment to consciously reflect on how the past may have created a preexisting mental model keeping you from considering a new and different future).

The content marketing category is a $400 billion industry. And it’s estimated that by 2024, the content marketing industry will grow by another $270 billion, bringing the grand total to nearly $700 billion. But how much of the content being created (especially by enterprise companies and B2C companies) is actually worth reading? The truth is, most of it isn't.

Short, sweet, and jam-packed with incredibly valuable insights, this audiobook busts common product myths and shows how to make a place in the world for your product.
Publisher's Summary
One of the most common questions entrepreneurs and small business owners ask is, “how do I create a category if I’m not a heavily funded startup, or some massively successful company? How can someone like me create a category of my own?”
This reveals maybe the single greatest benefit of category design: anyone can do it, at any stage of their life.
In this audiobook, you will learn the seven ways small “e” entrepreneurs (solopreneurs, small business owners, consultants, advisors, freelancers, etc.) can become known for a niche they own:
- What do you do that you are uniquely known for?
- Who do you do it for? Who are surprisingly willing to pay large premiums?
- When do you do it? That sits at the peak intersection of Important and urgent?
- Where do you do it? That if money were no object, everyone would want it?
- Why do you do it? That it is so in sync with the superconsumer, word of mouth spreads like wildfire?
- What outcome do you unlock that is 100 times more valuable than the price you charge?
- How much and “how” does it cost? That it is both a value and a premium, and the "way you pay" is a benefit in itself all at the same time?
Each of these are areas of opportunity for you to execute a No Ocean Strategy, meaning you create something in the world that previously did not exist. And the more of these “niche down” opportunities you combine together, the more different you are, and the more difficult it becomes for someone else to “do what you do”.
In addition, in this audiobook, you will learn:
- How Velveeta became one of the most successful brands at Kraft, and how you can double-down on what makes your product or service truly different.
- Why superconsumers are more valuable than high-volume buyers, and how you can grow your business by targeting underserved customers who are obsessed with your category.
- How to be a true missionary with a radically different POV, in a way that gets word-of-mouth marketing to spread like wildfire.
- And how to niche down, and niche down again, to ensure you have zero competition—and is seen as both a "value buy" and a premium product or service at the same time.
Short, sweet, and jam-packed with incredibly valuable insights, this audiobook is a how-to guide for any solopreneur, entrepreneur, or small business owner looking to supercharge their business.
